I've been having private counselling for the past three months (weekly) and have found it really helpful just to be able to sit and talk to someone.
I'm suffering from depression, anxiety and PTSD.
The problem now is that I unfortunately need to stop due to the summer holidays (I don't have anyone to have the children while I attend, obviously can't take them with me and in all honesty I need the money I would normally spend on the counselling sessions to put towards the children's activities over the summer).
I'm a single mum, no grandparents to help out and my youngest child is severely disabled.
My therapist understands my situation, although she did say she was worried that it is a long time between now and September to not have anyone to talk to.
This got me wondering myself.
I have been feeling better, but now with the thought of not having those sessions to talk, I have started to feel myself sliding again and becoming tearful.
I have found this more helpful than nhs counselling (not sure if that was just that I feel more of a connection with the individual therapist).
Would I be OK to leave such a big gap?
I will be keeping busy with the children.
I just can't see a way around it.
